My norn ranger is 80 and working on those sorts of tasks.  I've been leveling a charr guardian now and that is a lot of fun.  I also have a human ele and an asuran necro.  I need to make a plant person for the achievement, but I just can't figure out what it will be.  I'm thinking another ele, but I'll need to buy slots to make one of each of the rest of the classes.

I'm also working on my TSW character.  I only have one there and that seems to be sufficient for now since I can build it any way I want.

That means I'll have to figure out when my EQ2 warden and beastmaster will get time, not to mention my characters in STO and LotRO.

Yeah, I took my initial Guardian to level 45 and gathered everything I saw so I had the itch to craft some signets and decided on an Elementalist. Once I started playing him and his story I was having another "blast".

With my initial toon I tried not to go into areas I would probably explore with alts to not "ruin the surprise" but the Halloween and X-Mas events made that difficult :-)

Like Torvaldr above, I balance GW2 a bit with TSW (horror setting and puzle oriented) for a change of pace. Since a friend of mine started GW2 though I might back off of TSW a bit.

Easier said then done.

Honestly the only race I can tolerate is the sylvari because the glowing effect and all the skin colour choices can make them so unique.

Norn/Charr are too big, asura too small making 1h weapons barely visible and humans look meh.

Also classes don't really give me that feel on loving x over y. When I started guild wars 2 I had no idea what to pick, was thinking on starting a thief but wanted something new so tried warrior but didn't like it and after some internet searches ended with mesmer. Long story short at the start I was still not convinced but later on I started enjoying the class till I reached cap and got tired doing dungeons and/or not finding a good party to beat arah boss even if I explain in detail what to do.

Now after a lot of time not playing the game I started several characters starting with thief but I can't feel the vibe in it.... It's the first game ever I don't like the thief class. Then tried engineer but got disapointed after finding out they don't have any melee weapon apart of the wrench which is not exactly what I refer to melee weapon, and a charr warrior trying every style of combat but after seeing an elementalist attacking with dual daggers, the animations caught my attention and stopped the warrior at 11 and got an elementalist at 20 atm.

They are squishy just like the mesmer but with time I'm sure they will be awesome after they bloom from the newbie areas. (I love their animations)

Now I'm thinking on "questing" to say it that way in some other race maps as I already have an 80 mesmer which is sylvari. I was thinking between norn or charr as I hate the human maps with the overused centaurs.

haha funny question- ive basically have my main male charr engi- and  basically every race/ prof at 60's atm. but...

Ive also been playing borderlands 2 lately which i love and actually made my FIRST ever! female character  the ' mechromancer' -and lord behold iam enjoying it=  so i may make my first ever mmo female character this year on GW2....

Just want to say the Dwarf drawing in this article is awesome - props to whomever drew that!

I have always always always wanted to make a good Dwarf character in a MMO - but most of the time dwarves are awful in terms of animations and style (WoW, RIFT Dwarves are atrocious.)

WAR was the only MMO to do Dwarves any justice IMO, but the Orks were just so much cooler I had to go Black Ork.

Once you go black...

I made every profession, every race, and 4 males / 4 females at launch.  Started to concentrate on my female sylvari necromancer and got her to level 80 with 100% map completion and all exploring areas found. She also finished up her personal story, got 34 of 37 diving locations so far, and got level 400 jewelmaking / level 392 tailoring. In the last month I have taken all my alts to level 20, started all the other crafting professions, and just have had a lot of fun. Once they are all level 80 I will pick a couple of them for dungeons and a couple others for farming. The few remaining slots may be deleted and remade, so I can experience all 3 main paths in each of the races initial personal story. I see a lot more hours being added to my 800+ already played.

One thing I have to warn new players is that to get level appropriate armor / weapons from crafting you have to do it along with leveling. My necro just did a bit of crafting after completing each tier's zone and until level 70+ was always crafting below her level or below the drops she got. My alts are having an easier time of it, as they already have a stockpile of materials to craft with.
